JSD-Arts Representatives for 2024-25
This year we will continue to invite two District Arts Representatives (DARTS) to represent your school throughout the 2024-25 school year. We are pleased to be able to continue this program which received the Sorenson Legacy Exemplary Program Award in 2023. We have appreciated the work of past DARTS representatives and how they have helped strengthen arts instruction in your schools. Meaningful progress toward a greater level of arts integration has been made, and we wish this to continue.
DARTS meetings will be held on the following dates: September 11, November 13, January 22, March 26, and April 30. The meetings will be held at the Auxiliary Services Building Auditorium from 4:30-6:00 p.m. (the last meeting on April 30th will be a shorter meeting and will be from 4:30-5:30 p.m.).
Please assign two classroom teachers to serve as your school’s DARTS representatives. The DARTS representatives will meet five times throughout the year to learn and collaborate. Teachers will be paid at the inservice rate and will earn relicensure points (Note: In addition to the two regular classroom teachers, your school's BTS arts educator will also be attending the DARTS sessions).
Please email the names of your choices for the JSD DARTS Team for the 2024-25 school year to jana.shumway@jordandistrict.org or jacquelin.webster@jordandistrict.org by Monday, September 9, 2024 if possible.
